I actually just wanted to check previous topic titles by faking a post here... oops
I was trying to find out the best Video player atm, seeing as it's been a while since I've tried video playback on my android, there must be some new and exciting apps out.

Thanks for the pointers, yet I stumbled across another player: Vital Player Neon.
Did some comparing and as for MKV playback quality at least, Vital proved to be a lot better for me.
Also, the free version comes without that "R" product branding through your video.

I think a bunch of players can handle SD resolution videos in various codecs/containers. I'm testing different videos and among them a 1GB 720p H264 mkv video on Desire using various players. So far, RockPlayer is losing to Vital Player, Summer Player and QQplayer.

OK, I've tested bunch of all-around players to test their ability to play "difficult" HD 720p videos. The idea was to "stress" the players and see if they can offer first HW decoding and in case of need also smooth software decoding. I've looked also the fps and how watchable the videos are. Here are the winners as far as I'm concerned (in order of preference):

Good looking out man, thanks! I feel stupid for settling for Vital so easily now, it had survived my mkv test flawlessly imo, but I didn't bother to check fps, let alone compare against all those others.
